how's it going everybody have a bit of a problem
my fork seal is leaking and i noticed that because it was down
here it's not like really bad it's just starting to leak but we may
have a cure for that seeing as how i don't have time to take
all this apart and change the oil seal up inside there we have
the seal mate
and i'll leave a link in the description where you can get this at so what it is
is pretty much just a hook you pull the dust seal down you stick
this up inside there and go around in a circle
360 and it pulls the dirt out then you push down on the forks do it
again until there's no more oil but it's starting to annoy me and i
noticed that the other day
and i'll leave a link where you can get this
all right so what you want to do
take you a clean rig
and you're going to clean this
this is all i need to watch this thing is dirty
foreign
and then you very carefully you're going to pry down the dust seal
do not scratch this your inner tube then you're gonna have to replace it so
just get inside there pry it down be be careful
and slide it down
you want to clean up inside there a little more
so you're gonna clean up inside here up inside there and then you're gonna
clean inside the dust seal afterwards
and you'll feel it go up inside the seal and you're going to get some oil come
out of it but you want to make sure it's around the seal
go on a 360.
and it's easier to do if you don't have your fender on there
it can be a pain in the butt to get up in there
there
you may get some oil come out
hmm take a little bit of oil come out and
you're going to set them into this a few times
to reset the seal
it's easier if you if you put it in like this you'll feel it go up inside there
and wrap it around the fork
and go around
do
it starting to work
most people do this it says repeat this step i'll show you an instruction manual
repeat this until it does not do that anymore
because it's getting all the dirt from up inside
i wish they made a shorter version of it for forks like these to show a big
piston forks
uh
remember after we do this we're going to do it to the same
to the dust seal
so
some dirt up in there
that's a workout right there
that should be about it
do that one more time to seal it
yeah it's starting to work it's a pretty cool little tool man you
take this to the dealership it cost you anywhere from 300 600 bucks
man i mean you can do it yourself order fork
seals if you have the time to take everything
apart which i have a motorcycle lift at my parents house
and i can do this i just don't have the time
and it's not really leaking it's just got debris in it
and i'm going to do the same thing to the other side
i said it may take you a couple of times
yes
look at that
you pop this back up in there
foreign
uh and that's pretty much it
so
i will leave the link in the description to where to get one of these
um like i said under 10 bucks do both your forks
and you were good to go uh like comment share subscribe
talk to you later oh wait
it's going to show you the instructions clean entire area round dust seal use a
small screwdriver to slide away the dust seal
clean the entire air around oil seal insert the rounded area behind the hook
into the oil seal then rotate the tool vertically so the seal
made till it was parallel to the fork tube this should be inserted
approximately half inch deep gently rotate the steel mate tool around
the oil seal several times making sure that the hook end is
leading edge this will remove dirt that currently holds seal open
continue rotating as you remove the tool compress fork several times whop off any
excess oil on the fork tube and continue to compress forks until resealed
may take up to 10 compressions if oil seal is still leaking
repeat this process starting at number four clean dust seal in the same manner
as it will see and return the original position
so i will give you a link on where to get that
